Laser technology has been extensively exploited in the field of conservation and restoration of Cultural Heritage. In the last decades systematic research has been dedicated at developing safe and effective application methodologies of laser in the cleaning of different cultural artifacts, including stone, wood, metal, paper, textile and pictorial substrates. Several institutions organize a workshop aimed at updating the use of the most common laser sources available on the market, and the practice of cleaning different materials among operators in the sector of Cultural Heritage Conservation. The workshop is organized in two parts. A first part (November 14-15) includes theoretical lessons and the presentation of the different laser sources (Nd: YAG, Er: YAG) . The second part entails a workshop on the practical use of laser technology, (November 16-17). Depending on their number, participants will be divided into groups in order to alternate laser practice with visits to local heritage sites, where the effectiveness of cleaning can be highlighted.
